Sitting here just after 0200 on Tuesday morning thinking of what to post. Normally I would have a topic related to coins and stacking, or maybe something that was reflective or thoughtful. Things just haven't been in the cards lately for me to get much going outdoor wise. If it hasn't been the rain, it has been the bad air, if not that, then the heat. Sometimes it is a combination of the three in different forms. Then we have the occasional webble wobbles that I get. Except this webble, when he wobbles does fall down.🤣
So, yeah, I have spent a great deal of time indoors lately. I do have some coins waiting to be placed in holders, and put into my collection. One or two in particular I have plans to share on Hive with all of you, especially the #silvergoldstackers community. Just need to get my lazy ass moving and do it I guess.
Then there are plans to put the replacement camera I purchased to use. I plan to take some photos of my 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500. I am working on making in show worthy. It has been repainted, has some chrome work and new bedliner sprayed in. There is more work to be done, but that means money. Not sure why I picked expensive hobbies in retirement.
Been really down because I haven't been engaging as would be preferred. My head just hasn't been in it. Really, sometimes I open Hive, read through posts, look to start commenting and just stop and close the lid of the laptop. I have done the same with trying to start a reflective or #thoughtfuldailypost. Like today, I couldn't even bring myself to read the usual weekend-engagement list that is released on Monday mornings.
Yeah, commented on a few posts here and there, made a couple posts every now and then, but just doesn't seem like it is what it should be for the time I have available. Even if I don't feel up to snuff. I mean, come on, there where times I did feel good enough to open the laptop.
So what could be the problem?
It is my thought that the ability to effectively manage my time has gone out the window. I think once I retired, the fuck it all mentality kind of took over and this is what I am left with, poor time management. Now that there is time to think about this, time managment could be linked to some of my biggest challenges. My inability to keep a proper diet and exercise, not sticking to my daily medicine and test schedules. Improper financial and estate planning, and the list could go on. Yeah, that last one could really get important seeing I am flubbing up the others.
Not sure what it is going to take to start managing my time better again. Yeah I know some self discipline will go a long way. But talking about the traits that make one a good time manager. I used to be a good manager of my time. The military service made me someone who respected and lived by the clock. I made it my friend, not my enemy.
What are traits that make one a good time manager? How do you think I find these traits in me again?
